Condition

Colour: The colours in catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although it fails to fully convey the neon quality of some of the patches, the reflective nature of the aluminium foil and the rich texture of some of the geometric shapes visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear and handling towards the edges. Visible only upon extremely close inspection in taking light, there are a few extremely shallow and isolated surface scratches and evidence of light handling to some of the mirrored surfaces in places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
